Referral & Resign rules

Effective June 1, 2012

HOURS OF REFERRAL SIGN-IN AND DISPATCH

1. Original Registration for Employment must be made in person. Registration will be available at the Union Hall, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The Union office will be closed on legally celebrated holidays.
2. Initial sign-in may require, where applicable, a signed letter of introduction from their home local Business Manager.
3. Dispatch will be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, but will continue until all jobs are filled. This means other times will be used. Applicants will have 45 minutes to respond.
4. The Business Manager is responsible to fill calls in a timely manner as needed by employers. This means in an emergency, referral may have to be made outside normal hours using whatever means are available to fill calls and place registrants.

DISPATCH SYSTEMS – NUMBER OF JOB TURNDOWNS

1. Referral agent calls registrants to fill jobs.
2. Registrants will be allowed two turndowns without penalty and will be rolled completely off the book for a third turndown. You must re-register in person after being rolled off the list.
3. Being unavailable for referral when work would have been offered to the registrant shall be considered a turn down. Rejection of the applicant by an employer is not a turndown.
4. Military Duty, with official documentation presented before service, will not result in a turndown.
5. Someone on official union business approved by the Executive Board, or the Board of Trustees, will not result in a turndown.

When two or more people are laid-off on the same day, a drawing will be held at the Union Hall. The drawing will establish the order in which the laid-off people will sign the “Out of Work List”.

An applicant who is hired and who receives, through no fault of his own, work of forty hours or less shall, upon re-registration, be restored to his appropriate place within his Group. Quitting a job or asking for a layoff to avoid the intent of this paragraph will result in having your name removed from the list and you must re-sign.
